== Early days ==
The thought process emanated early in the year 2001 with an objective of making music albums. Siddeshwar, the founder of Nee, went on a talent search to build a strong music team to make innovative songs. Sairam became a strong pillar of Nee since 2004 and composed several Hindi songs which include a Nee Album Hit score 'Pahadi'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/10777/techies-craze-kannada-rock.html|title=Techies craze for Kannada rock|date=29 June 2009}}</ref>

Nee became a complete music troop in the year 2007 with Sumitra and Joshi joining in.<ref name="bangaloremirror.com" />
The Nee group performed live on 15 December 2008 on the sets of TV9 (National News Channel) that became a big booster for them to create a music album.
